Glastonbury Festival tickets for next year’s edition of the beloved festival are set to go on sale on Thursday (October 1).
The festival is returning next summer after taking a fallow year in 2026. Every five years sees Worthy Farm given a break from the antics to allow the farmland to recover and the natural environment to regenerate.
As a result of this, Glastonbury die-hards set their sights elsewhere, going to other UK festivals such as Parklife to get their live music fix. Last year saw indie band The 1975, music icon Neil Young and pop star Olivia Rodrgio headline the Pyramid stage.

The rumour mill is already churning on who will take to the stage next years, with the likes of Harry Styles, Sam Fender and Olivia Dean among the rumoured headliners. One person who won’t be performing is Madona, with Glastonbury Festival’s organiser Emily Eavis putting an end to the rumours.
Only the best of the best get to close out each night of the Somerset festival. Music royalty such as Paul McCartney, Beyonce, Elton John and Bruce Springsteen have all delivered performances for the ages.
For many, Glastonbury is the white whale of music festivals due to the battle to secure tickets being so intense. Last year’s edition didn’t use its full 210,000 capacity, which for context is less people than Oasis will play to during their Etihad Stadium residency.
With registration currently closed, Glastonbury 2027 tickets go on sale via See Tickets on at 6pm on Thursday, for coach packages. General admission tickets will go on sale on Sunday, October 4, 2026.
Those looking to snap up the gold dust tickets will be asked to pay up £408 for a full weekend experience, with a £100 deposit required upfront. Many fans on social media have called out the prices, which Glasto boss Emily defended last year.
“We have tried very hard to minimise the increase in price on the ticket, but we’re facing enormous rises in the costs of running this vast show, whilst still recovering from the huge financial impact of two years without a festival because of COVID.

“In these incredibly challenging times, we want to continue to bring you the best show in the world and provide our charities with funds which are more vital than ever,” she said.
With The Kinks and T-Rex on headline duties, the first edition of Glastonbury in 1970 cost just £1 to attend. If that wasn’t good enough, the second edition was free of charge.

By the time 1998 came around, it cost £80 to watch the likes of Primal Scream, Blur and Massive Attack, up £15 from 1995’s price. Come the turn of the century, a weekend ticket cost £87, with the final time a Glastonbury weekend ticket cost under £100 arriving in 2002, when it cost £97.
